Understanding your pricing results

Strong: Your price target leaves a strong estimated profit margin.

Healthy: Your price appears to cover costs, eBay fees, and profit goals.

Thin Margin: The price may work, but offers, returns, or ad spend could reduce profit quickly.

High Price: The recommended price may be difficult to support unless sold comps are strong.

Check Inputs: Fee or margin assumptions may be too high to calculate a usable price.

Ways to improve eBay pricing

Lower sourcing cost

Buy inventory with enough spread between cost and realistic sold prices.

Reduce shipping burden

Use better package sizing, buyer-paid shipping, or lighter fulfillment materials.

Control ad spend

Avoid promoted listing rates that erase your target margin.

Build offer room

Price with enough margin to accept reasonable buyer offers without losing profit.
